This is something that was very important. I applaud you for making sincere, straight answers here. The interview was rather confusing. I'm sure this will make many people calm down.

Thanks for this info!

I would like to "clarify" a couple items. Please appreciate that I cannot and will not violate confidentiality, with anyone. I hope that I am not doing so now.

Thanks, a nice follow-up

What? You thought we were serious? We knew every thing would be fine!

LOL, gotta love a good sense of humor.

BTW, I did not mention Capacity Networks in my comments. We are not using them in the solutions we're working one. We very much like what they do. We no longer own them.

Well there goes my theory down the chute. Anyway, it appears they did own them at some point. Glad that's cleared up... now we can all move on.

Hurray! Garry just propped the sky back up, and blew away all those dark clouds. All of that wasted thread posting for nothing... Bobson, you better be cancelling that Ebay auction.

Everything is more clearly now, at least for me.

Thanks for the explanation garry.

I can see why this might be confusing, most platforms have a shutdown proceedure, not the Amiga, you just hit the power switch and hay presto.

That is a pretty kick-ass clarification...rumor control, damage control if you will

Now all the conspiracy theorists have more material to chew on (Starting with how DaveyD just made it all up etc..... )

Poor sod, kind of reminds me of the episode of futureama where bender is floating through space and has a colony of people land on him who view him as God.Try to help, things dont work out, do nothing same result.

I think what Garry has been trying to say around the NDA is that Hyperion have the rights to develop and extend AmigaOS for pretty much as long as they wish. However, any future development of software, be it an OS or other application will be done in house.IF they come into a situation where they are developing OS4.0 or for OS4.0 they will get it done themselves.

At least I hope it is pretty clear they find OS4.x a valueable asset by now. There should be no more confusion about this, not that there should have been anyway.

It seems reasonabley clear to me that Amiga Inc. is planning to use OS4.0 on other devices without actually coming out any saying it point blank(that damn NDA again?)He did talk about the current distribution which does tend to indicate there will be other distributions for other devices/purposes.

everyone else, just think of the picture located here.

Anyway, I think you are doing a great job Garry, and although I understand and even agree with the silent company line, it does get difficult to live with at time so I hope you will forgive us when our enthusiasm causes us to boil over a bit.

ANyway, I will leave the rest of my opinions to another thread or I will go on for some considerable time

Thank you, Mr Hare.
not that I was worried.

But, to the fellas here at AW, while I think your hearts were in the right place, the IRC chat format may simply NOT be the right way to disseminate this kind of info.

especially with that silly bot cutting off the ends of responses, etc etc, ad nauseum.

As Mr Hare is exceptionally qualified to speak all on his own, I suggest just having a simple interview next time, if there is a next time.

we don't need any more children sh*ting in their diapers, thank you!

Thanks for the follow up Garry! I here by retract all my posts and statements. I should go delete them! You just have to understand. The community, including myself, has been through some very tough times when it comes to our parent company! Some of us have plans for the new Amiga, whether it be software development or other niche market ideas! We just want to make sure we are not making a mistake by commiting to the platform!
